That's great. I'm the one who sent it in, so I should find out straightaway. I've been looking at the different US & UK locations of the R1b & I1a people, and I can't predict what group I'll fall into. My brick wall is with Alexander Faris (Farris) b. 1799 in NC. He moved to TN around 1812, and died there. I am descended through one of his sons, Thomas Decatur Farris, who moved to TX after the Civil War. His son was born in TX, but moved to TN, then MD for college, then wound up in SC. I am descended from one of his sons. I really have no idea if our Farris's will have any connection to the ones already tested, but I am really excited to find out soon. If you think I have a possible connection to any of the ones in the test, I'd love to know what you are thinking.

Hi Pamela, Hope you find your DNA match. I don't know who your Alexander's parents were, but he had a brother James, didn't he? Stephanie Harrington was interested in this line. She was a subscriber to this list several years ago. Wasn't your Alexander born in South Carolina? That was the birthplace recorded in 1850 & 1860 federal censuses, wasn't it? There were two other men named Alexander born in 1799 in York County, South Carolina. These other two were first cousins, sons of brothers Isaac & Alexander Faries or Feris who moved to Maury Co., TN. Isaac & Alexander also had a brother Caleb who also moved to Maury. There may have been two other brothers Levi and John. I don't know whether Levi married or had children, but John did. Unfortunately, none of John's children were named Alexander or James. Good luck!

Hello Dan, Yes, Alexander had a brother James who was also in Franklin Co TN. They were born in York Co. SC, & by 1812 were apparently in TN. I know there were three Alexander Faris/Farris's in York Co SC at the same time. This does not make things easy! My line seems to come from the mystery third line. There seems to be lots of info on the other two. Yesterday I read that apparently Eveline, a daughter of Alexander and Oney, married a Thomas D. Farris, who descends from Ian Esom Farris. They died in Arkansas. I descend from a son of Alexander, who was also named Thomas D Farris. (D for Decatur) So perhaps my Alexander is some kind of relative of the other two Alexanders. I am very hopeful the DNA test will answer some of these questions. Stephanie Harrington was my mom's first cousin. Unfortunately she passed away several years ago from a stroke. It was so sad because the branches of our families had only just reconnected. My mom grew up not knowing her relatives from Charleston, and through Stephanie's and my research we found each other. We had a Farris family reunion in Charleston, and then another in New Orleans several years ago. I think about how thrilled Stephanie would be to get some real answers when I wonder what the test results may reveal. Thanks for your input, & the good luck wishes.
